Hi all
So yesterday I decided to buy my first "serious" inverter, - a Sunmagic PW3024 3000w and I am extremely happy with the quality, and how well it performs. I've seen similar units branded as a Mecer.
I however have two issues which would like resolved.
Firstly, I am unable to connect it to my desktop, all the manual says is that if the supplied communication cable is to be used, I would need to download monitoring software. I really can't afford a license for anything fancy right now, so just went with WatchPower, and both the USB and RS232 interfaces don't want to work. I tried the USB interface first, and it told me to download & install a "USB-serial CH340" driver which I did, then WatchPower shows no data. I had a spare modernish motherboard which had a RS232 header on it, and combined it with an old (at least 20 years) RS232 connector, and that should have worked, but I also get no data.
Can someone please advise me on what I am doing wrong.
Here is a photo, which shows what WatchPower is actually doing, and this is just after I've opened it, and my device manager.
Second problem is the beeper. Every time mains power disconnects, or reconnects the inverter beeps, it's very loud, and the Inverter is mounted on wall in my bedroom, and I swear it will wake up the entire neighbourhood, I know there is a way to mute notifications, as it briefly mentions it in the manual, just not sure how.
If anyone can assist, I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
